provements made by the tenants had
been seized by the landlords, who had
long been robping the tenants of the
product of their labor and embezZling
their rights. Mr.. Parnell went on to
condemn coercion as an Indictment to
conspiracy. He taunted the Tories
with the declaration that if they got
powers of oppression equalling those OF
the czar they would never be able to ad-
minister them under a constitutional
government, nor so long as Irish mem

It is gratifying to be able to an
7,ounce that tie report which reached
us last week concerning t',e serious Ill
NESS of Mg. Parnell is not SO bad as
what; we were led to believe at first
However, it is indispltable that ne is
in very poor health, He is q victim o1
lriyht's disease of the kidneys, Iii
form similar to that which carried OF!
the late ex-President arthur. MI
parnel has borne his troubles uncom-
n|ain1ugly for months, evidently not
desiring to place his party in All en-
barrassing position at this time when
his services are SO much required.
His struggle With the disease is said TO
he a terrible one, His pale, worn face,
ana thin neck, and the reduction Of
fourteen pounds III his weight, says L.
2, O'Connor, shows how fearful!y he
has struggled For seven consecutive
days he was unable to take Or retain adj
;uinjs5ered food in any form. Another
week at this rate would have seen lim
in his grave This is the more curious,
as Mr., parne!l was most abstemious at
the table. His illness was the result Of
the irregular hours and severe strain OF
parliamentary life. For three months
he has not tasted butchers meat. He
is confined strictly to fish and game.
His recovery must i'll any case be slow.
and is liable to be impeded by his du-
ties in the House of Commons.
Should it come to the worst, and MI.
Parnell be compelled to resign the Lead
ecship Of the Irish Nationalist party, il
is not yet certain who would take his
place. The names Of several Irish
gentlemen, now members OF the British
House of Commons, have bsen men-
toned in this connection. Any one OF
them would inspire their followers with
confidence, but we hope that such an
emergency may not arise at least for
years to come.
However, under any conditions, it
would be an incalculable calamity for
ireland if she should be deprived at
